Can your computer run SteamOS?

SteamOS Hardware Requirements Reveal What Kind Of Computer Will Run SteamOS In Your Living Room
I am probably not going to be the first person who throws together a computer for SteamOS. I use an Apple computer for everything, but I'm still dying to see how Steam's entry into entertainment-center computing shakes up the PC gaming space. I think Valve has made some incredibly smart moves with Steam and their games, but I'd really like to see them get better at putting out the games we all want to play so badly like Half-Life 3.

Portal 2 Footage From Gamescom

This Portal 2 footage from the floor at Gamescom is absolutely stunning.  First things first, I'm so happy to see that there are a lot more mechanics being added.  Portal may have been worth the full price of a game, but it was not a full experience.  I can't wait to see the puzzles.

More importantly?  I can't wait to see the narrative!  It's been a while since Episode 2 came out and honestly, I need some Valve story telling.

Lastly, I'm going to need a new computer if I have any hopes of running the PC (or Mac) version of this game.  I'd hate to swallow my pride and buy a console version of any Valve games, but I know I'm not going to let that get in the way of play Portal 2 when it comes out next year in February.
